HC Deb 17 March 1919 vol 113 cc1748-9W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Secretary of State for War why Mr. R. Hall, now residing at Sandy Lane, Church Crookham, Hampshire, Private R. Hall, late No. 24047, 2nd Battalion, Royal Dublin Fusiliers, has not yet received his gratuity upon discharge and deferred pay?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Inquiries are being made, and I will communicate the result to my Noble and gallant Friend.

Major LLOYD-GREAME

asked the Secretary of State for War whether postal servants who were mobilised from the Army Reserve, Section A, on the outbreak of war and have served overseas, are entitled to the war gratuity?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Their eligibility would depend on whether or not they were entitled to their full civil pay whilst serving with the Colours. If they were not so entitled, they are eligible for the war gratuity.
